INDIANAPOLIS, March 23, 2022 – Beneath its sleek, stainless-steel exterior, Alvarado’s SU5000 Swinging Barrier Optical Turnstile boasts the latest optical detection technology in a slim, compact footprint. The SU5000 features bi-directional motorized access control in conjunction with a facility’s access control system.
To enter, users present a valid credential that opens the turnstile’s motorized barriers away from the user, allowing a single passage in the requested direction. If an unauthorized user attempts to tailgate on a valid entry or attempts to enter without authorization, the integrated sensors recognize the illegal passage attemptpassage attempt and sound an alarm. The SU5000 has a number of operational modes and features that provide a superb combination of security, safety, and high user throughput.
“Integrating the SU5000 into a facility is quick and easy,” said Nick Simon, National Security Sales Manager at Alvarado. “It integrates with virtually any access control or visitor management system and accommodates a wide array of credential readers. The SU5000’s slim design features contoured edges and crystal-clear materials for an upscale look suitable for any location.”
Simon further explains that clients may require a higher level of monitoring and control than turnstiles/speed gates provide. Devices can fully integrate with:
- Elevator Dispatch Systems for proper queuing and security to specific floors
- Metal Detection Devices Upon receiving an output from a metal detector, the turnstile will remain locked until the alarm has been cleared. This could be used in applications like fulfillment centers to reduce loss prevention or more serious concerns such as weapons.
- Secondary Doors Tailgate attempts to trigger an output alarm by the turnstile lane. That output can be sent to a secondary door to lock it, a camera to capture the event, sounders, etc.
In addition, key features and benefits of the SU5000 include:
- Superior tailgate detection
- Fast user throughput
- ADA passage widths
- Accepts all types of credential and biometric readers
- Integrates with access control, visitor management and life safety systems
- Dozens of customization options including cabinet finishes, side panel illumination, and etching
